Ronald Steven Naudus, 73, of Warwick Twp., "bought the farm" on Friday, September 17, 2021 after a lengthy and courageous battle with multiple myeloma cancer. Born in Somerville NJ, he was the son of the late George Naudus and Doris Worman Naudus.

Farming and agriculture were an important part of Ron's life. He owned a lawn care and excavating business until he moved to Brownstown, PA in 1986. He was a heavy equipment operator who loved his work at Brubacher Excavating, Bowmansville, PA until his retirement in 2019. He was an avid fitness enthusiast and a member of Universal Gym in Manheim Township for many years.

Ron is survived by his beloved daughter, Suzanne Joan Naudus of Rothsville, PA; brother David P. Naudus, his wife Helen, and his daughter Rachel and son Sean of Phillipsburg, NJ; former wife Krystine M. Martin and her husband Brian of Ephrata, PA; sister-in-law Barbara Kuhlman and fiancé Richard Simon of Flemington, NJ; and brother-in-law Edward Funk and wife Mary of Lancaster, PA. He was preceded in death by his infant daughter Joan Margaret Naudus and his sister Patricia Naudus.

The family wishes to express thanks to Dr. Natthapol Songdej and staff at Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute, and Dr. So Hyang Park and staff at Wellspan Ephrata Cancer Center for their compassionate care during the course of Ron's illness.

Before his passing, Ron requested that memorial donations be made to the Ephrata Community Health Foundation, benefiting the Wellspan Ephrata Cancer Center, 259 South Fourth Street, Lebanon, PA 17042-1281, with gratitude to the entire medical staff for their dedicated care through the years of his illness.

Ron's life will be celebrated on Saturday, October 9, 2021 at Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz PA 17543 with a 2:00 PM visitation and 3:00 PM service. All are welcome to pay tributes to Ron at that time.
